Abstract

An electronic flash photographing system transmits a timing clock signal from a camera to a flash unit through a first signal transmission path, and also transmits a plurality of information signals as a serial signal from the flash unit to the camera through a second signal transmission path in synchronism with the timing clock signal. At least when a subject is photographed, generation of the timing clock signal is stopped or transmission thereof to the first signal transmission path is interrupted. While the subject is being photographed, a light-emission stop signal is transmitted from the camera to the flash unit through the first signal transmission path.
